Your Eternal Destiny Is A Matter Of Eternal Life Or Eternal Death.

If I were to die today I would go to H_____? This is a good question to pose to anyone on this planet. We all at one time or another have had to make some important decisions in our life. Even as a small child there were critical decisions in our life. Something as dangerous as walking out on a frozen pond is something many children have faced when their parents weren't in sight, or playing with matches. Well as grown adults, or even as teen-agers, we are all faced with the most important decision in our life. To chose Christ or deny Him. God has given us the choice whether or not we go to Heaven or Hell. I made my decision back in the year 2000, Jan 25. We have all fallen short of God's standards, we have all sinned. In other words we have all done some kind of evil, even if it's just a mere white lie we have told. And believe me, I have told my share of lies, whether it was for getting attention, or to get out of trouble. But now I have the Truth. JESUS CHRIST has taken the punishment that we all deserved. John 3:16 in the Bible says, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever believes Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus wasn't crucified on the cross just because a bunch of religous leaders and a mob of people hated Him. This was His mission, this is the reason He became a man being born of a virgin(Mary). He is the Son of God and He gave His life as a ransom for all. Even though He knew many people then and now would reject Him as Lord and Savior, He still took up the cross for everyone of us. The proof was not only in the miracles that he did, but also God raising Him from the dead. If He was never raised, then we will all be doomed in our sin. Without the spilling of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. Jesus laid down His life and suffered a horrific death on the cross so that we could be saved from eternal condemnation in Hell. People always ask me why would a loving God send people to Hell. What they fail to see is how loving He is for making a way so that we wouldn't have to go in the first place. This is the greatest expression of love you'll ever know. HE SUFFERED AND DIED TO SET US FREE FROM ALL THE SIN WE EVER COMMITTED AGAINST HIM. That is why a former slave trader wrote the hymn called "Amazing Grace." He knew with all the evil he had done that he should be in Hell right now. But God's love is so great that His Son died for even the worst of sinners. I can't find no greater love than that. Some movies make the cross not look so bad. In reality, no one could act it out perfectly because they haven't experienced the cross as Jesus and others did back in the days when the Romans used crucificion as a punishment for those found guilty of a crime. So if you or I could have seen Him crucified, then we would really see how much he loved us. All He's asking us is to receive Him as our Lord and Savior, believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Being raised from the dead is not an impossible feat for God. So just pray and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior, just believe with all your heart that Jesus is the Son of God and rose from the dead, and ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit and guide you and change you. Also confess you have sinned against Him. Turn away from living in sin, in other words repent. You don't have to pray some beautiful decorated prayer to get saved(born again). Just pray from the heart, that is all that matters to God. It's that easy to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. This is the greatest decision you'll ever make in your life. Receive Him and believe Him. Romans 10:9 says Who ever confesses Christ with their mouth and believing with the heart will be saved. I probably paraphrased that verse, but it's close.
